4.5★ Another fantastic Anya Crichton. I started this the day I boarded a Princess cruise ship - and I was hoping that Princess Cruises was very different from whichever line the Paradisio - the ship that Anya was sailing on in this book - was a part of! Certainly behaviour onboard a Princess ship when I was on her last was very different from that on the Paradisio, and it seemed different this time as well - thankfully! I still enjoyed some of the insights into the cruising industry and things I hadn't previously considered - such as the environmental impact of cruising, on average a passenger may generate up to 3.5kg of waste each day, and that average weight gain is about 4.5 pounds on a week long cruise (and that is why I was taking the stairs rather than the lift and walking around the deck while I was onboard!).

Aside from all the specifically cruise-related stuff, the story was brat - fast-paced, always something happening and with untrustworthy characters - or characters of dubious trustworthiness - at every turn.

I loved it! And it did make me a bit more wary about the dark corners of my ship!
